HH Press Kit Aug4 2009 George Ryga’s HUNGRY HILLS The award-winning novel HUNGRY HILLS by legendary Canadian author George Ryga has been adapted for the screen by Vancouver-based screenwriter Gary Fisher and began principal photography in and around Regina, Saskatchewan on April 27, 2009 under the helm of director Rob King. The rolling hills of Saskatchewan’s Qu’Appelle Valley provided the setting for Ryga’s story of a young man’s desperate attempts to overcome poverty and discrimination. Ryga’s timeless story of perseverance and redemption has been a sixteen-year journey for screenwriter Gary Fisher, a dream shared by award-winning director Rob King (Moccasin Flats: Redemption, Something More) who has championed the project alongside Fisher for the last decade. George Ryga’s HUNGRY HILLS stars Keir Gilchrist (United States of Tara), Alexander De Jordy (Sticks and Stones, True Heroes), John Pyper-Ferguson (Brothers & Sisters, Everest), Gabrielle Rose (Grace, Mothers & Daughters), Alexia Fast (Kaya, Left Coast) and Cavan Cunningham (Just Friends, Corner Gas). Rhonda Baker (Dolan’s Cadillac, Ticket Out, The Messengers), Avi Federgreen (One Week; Leslie, My Name is Evil), Rob King and Gary Fisher produced the feature-length film. Jennifer Jonas (Leslie, My Name Is Evil, All Hat) and Leonard Farlinger (Monkey Warfare, The Perfect Son) of New Real Films, and Gerard Demaer of Gerard Productions Inc. served as executive producers. SYNOPSIS In 1954 after two years in a home for boys, Snit Mandolin (Keir Gilchrist), 15, returns home to his seemingly unhinged and reclusive aunt Matilda (Gabrielle Rose). Defeated by a community that still shuns him, confronted by the impossibility of surviving on his aunt’s farm, Snit falls in with Johnny Swift (Alexander De Jordy), 16, another outcast. Johnny makes moonshine and sells it through a local bootlegger. The boys work together and become fast friends. And Snit finds first love with a free-spirited local girl, Robin, 16 (Alexia Fast). Their adventure is interrupted by the enigmatic and unpredictable Roy Kane (John Pyper-Ferguson), the district’s private cop, who took Snit away two years ago and will now use the boys to get to the bootlegger. 1 Dogged by Kane, betrayed by a bootlegger and plagued by the ghosts of the past, the boys’ partnership ends – their friendship broken. Alone once more in the community that rejected him, Snit comes to a violent crossroads. ABOUT GEORGE RYGA Born in Deep Creek, a remote Ukrainian community in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta, George Ryga is a founding father of Canadian literature, theatre and culture. The harsh realities of his upbringing – an unforgiving landscape, poverty, and isolation – are recurring themes in his work. Largely self-taught, he published his first book of poetry in his late teens and garnered accolades in 1967 with the premiere of a play that is perhaps his most famous work, The Ecstasy of Rita Joe. Throughout his career, Ryga criticized social issues in Canada through an austere examination of his characters, becoming an outspoken champion for the underprivileged. Known for his stark rural settings and a recognizable array of colourful, characters, all of whom take us in many pleasurable, disturbing and revealing directions, Ryga offers readers characters with opportunities for redemption, survival and self-determination. “All of Ryga’s plays and novels were propelled by compassion and moral outrage,” noted the Globe & Mail, “but also by a peculiar and personal awareness of the life and death of human cultures and the values they contain.” One of his early novels, HUNGRY HILLS examines the role of the disaffected in the mainstream consciousness of Canadian society by dramatizing the effects of isolation and the condition and psychology of stigmatized individuals in the face of societal neglect. In enduring the prejudice and isolation his community has imposed upon him, and by insisting on his right to inclusion within that society, Snit Mandolin speaks for everyone who has suffered injustice at the hands of society-at-large. His journey is one of heart-breaking discovery and the heroics of simple survival that mirror the life of the author himself. Though unapologetically Canadian in their location and circumstance, the central themes in Ryga’s work address the general human condition and speak to audiences around the world. 2 “George Ryga has taken the human experience, which in this case is only Canadian by accident of destiny, distilled it through his fine sense of compassion and given it to us…as an act of communion in which our own participation is inescapable,” said Ben Metcalfe of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. George Ryga died in 1985 in Summerland, British Columbia. In 1996 the George Ryga Centre Society was established in Ryga’s former home in Summerland, where it functions as a cultural centre in memory of the author’s contribution to Canadian culture. The centre has hosted writers such as Sandra Birdsell (The Russlander, The Two-Headed Calf) and supports the annual George Ryga Award for Societal Awareness in Literature, granted to a writer who has achieved an outstanding degree of social awareness in a new book publication. George Ryga is remembered as one of Canada’s most prolific and powerful writers. His relevance to this day is confirmed by the fact that The Ecstasy of Rita Joe was running at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa while the feature film adaptation of his novel Hungry Hills was in production in Regina, SK. The novel is currently collected in the volume George Ryga: The Prairie Novels (Talonbooks) ABOUT HUNGRY HILLS - THE FILM It is no surprise that screenwriter Gary Fisher saw the potential for an adaptation of the short novel as his third screenplay. He began passionately pursuing the possibility of making a feature length film of HUNGRY HILLS more than 16 years ago and eventually took the script to Saskatchewan and director Rob King. Their perseverance resulted in a partnership between the pair and producer Rhonda Baker. When Avi Federgreen met the director and read the script he immediately recognized its potential and was brought into the fold. Shortly thereafter executive producers Jennifer Jonas and Leonard Farlinger, and finally the indispensable Gerard Demaer, were brought on board to complete the team. Their labour of love saw production of the feature-length film begin in Saskatchewan in April 2009 with Rob King at the creative helm. Not unlike the adversity faced by the characters in the story, the cast and crew braved inclement prairie weather and the inevitable budgetary constraints encountered in filming, with the end results exceeding not only viewer expectations but the expectations of the creators themselves. 3 THE RED CAMERA In an effort to stretch the budget as far as possible, the film was shot without the use of celluloid film. The majority of the film is shot on exterior sets, that are stylistically crucial to the storyline. The RED camera allowed the director and cinematographer to define detail in the progressing physical darkness of the film dictated by the script. The unconventional RED camera is a relatively new technology, first introduced four years ago by Oakley founder Jim Jannard and is taking the film and television industry by storm. HUNGRY HILLS is one of only a handful of feature films to be shot in Canada exclusively employing RED technology, which means no actual film was used in the process. The RED camera captures images that are transferred to hard- drive on set, thereby increasing production value and simplifying the post- production process. “For me, this is Year Zero; I feel like I should call up Film on the phone and say, ‘I’ve met someone,’” commented famed cinematographer/director Stephen Soderbergh (Traffic, Ocean’s Eleven) at red.com. Though as a digital imaging device the RED records on a different media, it operates like a traditional film camera allowing the cinematographer the speed, mobility and agility to capture and define the story through the lens. Cinematographer Ken Krawcyzk (who incidentally worked on the first feature film to use the RED camera exclusively) consulted with director Rob King before they decided to employ the new technology exclusively in the making of the film. THE CAST Casting was another primary challenge when shooting an ambitious character- driven feature film with limited financial resources. Award-winning casting directors John Buchan, Jason Knight, and Carmen Kotyk, aligned their talents to assemble an unparalleled cast of industry veterans and newcomers who were compelled by the potential of Gary Fisher’s script and Rob King’s vision for the film. Cast in the lead role of Snit Mandolin, KEIR GILCHRIST was born in London, England and moved with his family to Boston and then New York before settling in Toronto, which he currently calls home. He has taken drama classes since he was very young and it was with the encouragement of a Toronto drama teacher, who arranged a meeting with her agent, that he first began acting professionally. 4 He currently stars in the critically acclaimed Showtime series United States of Tara (Toni Collette, John Corbett) from executive producer Steven Spielberg and creator Diablo Cody (Juno). Keir starred in the Fox Television series The Winner opposite Rob Corddry and has made many memorable guest appearances on shows including The Family Guy and The Listener. He can also be seen in the title role of Peck in the feature film Just Peck. His other film credits include The Egg Factory and Dead Silence. Keir and his classmate ALEXANDER DE JORDY auditioned for HUNGRY HILLS together in Toronto, – an opportunity that prompted them to produce a comedic short documentary of their experiences for a school project. The documentary had a Hollywood ending when Alex was cast alongside Keir in the role of Johnny Swift.

  • John N. Smith to Direct Guy Vanderhaeghe's The
    JOHN N. SMITH TO DIRECT GUY VANDERHAEGHE’S THE ENGLISHMAN’S BOY (June 27, 2006) Guy Vanderhaeghe is adapting his Governor General Award-winning novel, The Englishman’s Boy, as a two-part, four-hour mini-series to be directed by John N. Smith and produced by Kevin DeWalt of Minds Eye Entertainment for CBC Television. The Englishman’s Boy, which was shortlisted for the Giller Prize and the International IMPAC Dublin Award, weaves two parallel narratives into one spellbinding story. In 1920s Hollywood, the young Canadian writer Harry Vincent is engaged by a movie mogul to track down an elusive old-time Western actor. Vincent’s relationships with both the actor and the studio boss expose the dark side of myth-making. In counterpoint to the realm of Hollywood is the haunting story of a young drifter known simply as “the Englishman’s boy.” In 1873, the boy joins a group of wolf hunters on the trail of horse thieves. It is a journey that climaxes in a brutal encounter with the Assiniboine Indians in the Cypress Hills – an encounter which will change this country forever. “Guy is a writer of rare power,” comments director John N. Smith. “We have been collaborating on bringing this riveting story to the screen for a very long time. Canadian viewers are in for a great treat, I promise you.” “This is very much a cautionary tale,” explains Vanderhaeghe. “It is a western and an examination of the mythic political power of westerns. It is also a little-known tale of Canada. I can’t think of a more sensitive director than John to transform my words into images.” John N.

  • St. Mary's Episcopal School BRADLEY ’74 22 41 N
    SUMMER 2018 St.Mary’sTHE MAGAZINE OF ST. MARY’S EPISCOPAL SCHOOL i A LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL I believe in St. Mary's mission and never more so than when the seniors graduate. At Commencement, I am always struck by the power of each student reaching her individual potential. Some of the graduates, over the course of as many as 15 years at St. Mary's, encountered opportunities and experiences that we designed for them and in which they thrived. Others found in our environment the inspiration to create their own opportunities. Each girl will matriculate in August with brand new paths to explore. This school inspires students and adults alike, as you will read in the pages that follow. I believe in our mission of enabling and encouraging girls to reach their individual potential, because our community is strongest when each student discovers her own God-given talents, as well as the seasons in which they flourish. Fortunately, our mission doesn’t predict how long this discovery takes! Our alumnae Chapel speakers often reflect on the seeds planted here that only later in college or adult life come to fruition. Over the course of traveling and visiting alumnae on both coasts (and in-between) this year, I had a recurring observation that brought this experience to life. During every visit, I was impressed by each woman's talent and purpose. They were philanthropists, authors, mothers, CEOs, and inventors. Their range of personality and perspective was joined by a similar and strong sense of identity and intention.
